"Hey, she's having her period! SHE MUST BE PREGNANT!"
"But she's twelve."
"DOESN'T MATTER, SHE IS PREGNANT."
That's been the discussion for the past several posts :P

Different link/article I believe. I got that link from a link from that link.

Different article, but it was written the same day about the same topic.

At the risk of fanning the possible political flame war, the law, for all practical purposes, narrows the legal abortion window to 38 weeks instead of 40. By itself, that doesn't seem like a really huge deal, but if more is to come (slippery slope argument), it could be a problem. I am content to simply monitor the situation at present. Take it however you will.

This. Although, it is the combination of a thousand small steps like this that made Nazi Germany and Soviet Russia.

But our government is different, right? They wouldn't do that to us, would they? /fatalistic sarcasm

Abortion is legal at 38 weeks? Thats pretty much a full pregnacy... are you sure you don't mean days?

No, it's legal at 38 (well, actually 40) weeks in the US. In theory that is, the state laws can make it difficult. Almost no abortions occur during that time period anyway, though. If I recall correctly the vast majority take place at 7-12 weeks.

From what I gather, they're trying to change a full term pregnancy from 40 weeks into 38 weeks, and move the date of legal abortion to before most birth defects can be seen with ultrasound (18 weeks instead of 20).

Quote from: The first Arizona article
Current law allows abortions up until the point of viability, when a fetus could reasonably survive on its own outside the womb. That’s considered by many medical experts and abortion clinics to be from 22 to 24 weeks. Current law also allows abortions beyond that to protect the “life or health of the woman” but doesn’t define health.

Not sure how accurate that is in general, but it doesn't sound as crazy as the rest of the articles.

What the actual fuck, Arizona?

Wait, wait, wait. A woman is pregnant two weeks before she is pregnant, right? Which puts her in a state of perpetual pregnancy, or having a case of Schroedinger's Preggers, if you wish. Because the egg that could be fertilized in two weeks is fertilized. Except that's only half a person. That means the sperm that will fertilize the egg is also a child at that point.

...Which means EVER MAN IN ARIZONA IS PREGNANT ALL THE TIME.

So the last dream was slightly freaky.

I was in this house or something similar with some people, there's a knock on the door, nobody wants to answer it, then there's a second one, we open the door and there is noone there, so we go out in the street, it looks like a 1900's European city, then we're chased by police for some reason and cornered into this big yard, there the people that are with us, some English gentlemen decide to dance while they are being arrested.

Afterward the chief policeman says, "Throw them into the bay of pirates!" *DUN DUNN DUNNN*

The bay of pirates is actually some semi-open cellar under the police station it seems, filled with water, after we've fallen in we kinda freak out because the place is strangey and the water surface is actually glass or something that we've broken trough. Then we meet the imprisoned Mother Crhirstmas, a nice old lady, obviously american, who immedately frees herself with some freaky gymnastics. Then she tells us she actually controls the laws of physics, or something equally scary and that we need to get somewhere fast. We sneak out of the courtyard and realize that the station is actually on the open ocean, she whistles and a big killer whale parks itself in front of us, she tells us to get on top of it to escape. At that point I refuse because it's going to go underwater and I do not wish to drown, I even go so far to state that a bear would be a much better form of transport that wouldn't drown us.

I think that's the point where I woke up.

Also, my right elbow hurts like hell, and I have no idea why :c

All these links to news about those pregnancy law shenanigans in Arizona just short-circuited my brain. I'm pretty sure it's going to start dribbling out of my nose any second now.
